CD Projekt RED has released three new screenshots for its upcoming next-gen open-world RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which offer a glimpse at a couple of the game’s environments.

The screenshots were released to celebrate the launch of the game’s new official forums. One of the shots show Geralt traveling through a city devastated by war, a second shows him making his way through a rather dangerous and creepy looking swamp, while the third sees him stumble upon the scene of a bloody battle.

CEO Marcin Iwinski recently revealed that porting The Witcher 3 to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 would be an impossible task. “It’s impossible. It would have to be a different game–a smaller game, not an open-world game, or with terrible loading times, with sacrifices in graphics,” he said.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is set to release later this year for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Matthew Bennett finally got his big break with EGM three years ago, following years of volunteer work for various sites. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
